Seven-time MotoGP race winner Enea Bastianini has split with long-ꦰtime manager Carlo Pernat and has joined London-based agency MSM.

Bastianini is one of the few Italians on the premier cl🅰ass gri🍬d not to have representation from the VR46 Academy, with his management so far in his career handled by Pernat.

As well as representing Bastianini, Pernat has also served as manager for the likes of Andrea Iannone♈ and Loris Capiro🎃ssi over the years.

On Friday, London-bases MSM announce🍨d it had signed Bastianini to take ove🐠r as his management group.

The reason for Bastianini’s split with Pernat is unknown, though the veteran✅ manager is now 76.

It also comes as Bastianini’s MotoGP future has been plunged into uncertainty amid KTM’s ongoing financial crisis, which could see the marque exiting the series in 2026 as part of its re♕structuring process having entered into self-administration late last year.

Bastianini s♎igned a multi-year deal with KTM to race for Tech3 in 2025, having been a factory Ducati rider for th🐼e previous two years.

The Italian will come under MSM CEO Enrico Zanarini’s management. He has a history in motorsport m🌜anaging the likes of Formul✅a 1 drivers Eddie Irvine and Giancarlo Fisichella.

“Enea’s determination to compete at the highest level pe🙈rfectly aligns with our vision,” said Zanarini.

“We are excited to support him in his pursuit of excellenဣꦅce.”

Bastianini added: “Partnering with MSM marks a♋ new and promising phase in my career.

“With MSM’s expertise and dedicated support,&n𒁏bsp;I am confident we will achieve great results, both on and off track.

“As we head into the 2025 MotoGP season, I’m more determined than ever to compete at th𝓀e highest 🌞level.”

MSM also has an expansive portfolio of motorsport talent on i🅷ts books, like former F1 drivers Jean Alesi, Daniil Kv𒁏yat, Jacques Villeneuve and Antonio Giovinazzi.
